I agree that there is a small minority of elites in certain domains which would like to weaken or destroy Amazon (& those other listed companies) for a variety of reasons, and are exerting some effort into making that happen. I simply disagree with the characterization that this constitutes "popular support", especially when contrasted to the amount of popular support that would be mustered for imposing consequences on the individuals listed in the comment you're replying to for lying to Congress.

Fair enough, point conceded. I should have said political support. There is a well-organized constituency pushing for this, and no organized opposition apart from Amazon itself. (And characterizing that support as being limited to "a small minority of elites" is wearing three pairs of Silicon Valley filter goggles. Yes, the New York Times editorial board seems to hate Amazon. But it's also built a well of badwill in rural America.)
